"Given who Melody's husband is, does she really need this chump change from her role? She certainly won't be as serious as hardworking as me! I'm pretty sure everyone knows deep down that she doesn't even need the audience.
"Her family background is different from us ordinary actresses. Even if you elevate her to stardom, she'll still have to go home and give birth once the Riveras told her to. I bet she has no intention of staying in the industry for long."
In this case, Tracy accidentally hit the mark with her assumptions.
Melody indeed had no intention of permanently staying in the industry; she just wanted to act in roles that she liked. She might continue acting for a few more years if she came across a good script. Otherwise, she would rather quit early and find other work.
"If you don't agree, I'll have to resort to this. I heard there's a well-edited video by the reporters that hasn't been released yet! I..."
Seeing Tracy getting ready to act impulsively, the producer quickly stopped her. "Fine, it's just more screen time you want, right? Consider it done. Just don't cause any more trouble online!"
"As expected of a producer. Your mind works fast," Tracy remarked. She had achieved her goal, and with a cold smile, she left.
Since they had reached a deal, she needed to figure out how to clarify things to the crew. After all, she was still the supporting actress in the film, and in the future, she would play a role even more critical than Melody's. Thus, it might significantly impact her influence if negative rumors about her spread in this regard.
Melody only heard about the outcome of their discussion later. She thought Shaun and the producer would take legal action to prevent Tracy from spreading lies, but to her surprise, they ended up compromising.
Melody opened her mouth in surprise. "After all that, that's the only demand she had?" She could not decide whether Tracy was foolish or just having too much time on her hands. How could her agent let her act recklessly like that?
"You don't need to apologize to me. I'm perfectly fine with her demand. This way, the crew won't have to continue suffering either, and we can continue with the shooting. It's a win-win situation," reassured Melody.
Melody genuinely did not mind. Occasionally, she found herself wondering about Tracy's motivations for making such choices. She did not feel upset about having fewer scenes, and she certainly did not blame Shaun or the producer for the situation. It was clear that they had tried their hardest to protect her.
No matter how many seconds her character appeared on the screen, it represented a significant leap for her in the industry. Especially for someone like her, a newcomer who went from zero to starring on the big screen.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
